Oh dear ...

It is possible that we are about to inherit more cats. Either the people on the back street who used to own two nice cats have decided to leave only the same two lights on for a few nights and put their cats on diets, or they have left the cats behind and pissed off into the realm of complete fuckers who leave their pets behind.

Biscuit, the schmoopy calico, has been up mooching food at the local Thai for a few nights in a row, while Scooter, her co cat, has just been looking thinner every time we see her. J did an emergency food run this evening, I will be doorknocking tomorrow to see whether they have fallen over and can't get up, or if I need to be taking the cats across to have their tags scanned and register their ex-owners as irresponsible shitheads with the local council and RSPCA.

These two can be the outdoor cats if they come to us. Maybe our friends on the back street would like them ...

In case of fire/other emergency, I do think I would grab my children first and the pets as I could manage. Yay you for taking care of the neighbors' cats. One word about outside cats...some cats will not tolerate an indoor lifestyle. The life span of an outdoor cat, however, is an average of 3 years rather than 20 or so...I speak from personal experience--it's hard to have an outdoor cat that just disappears overnight. *sobs with guilt* But I suppose, better the outdoor cat with you-who will FEED them-then left to starve by previous bad owners.
